British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority (BC Hydro) Mandatory Reliability Standards (MRS) Assessment Report No. 5 Errata to Table 3
BC Hydro is writing to the BCUC to provide a correction to its MRS Assessment Report No. 5 (Report) dated April 2012 that was submitted to the BCUC on April 19, 2012. In the attached revised report pages, BC Hydro has corrected and clarified entries that were made within Table 3 of the Report. These relate to BC Hydros final assessment of the adverse impacts and suitability of standards assessed in the Report. The corrections and clarification are in response to comments provided to BC Hydro, with copy to the BCUC, from Shell Energy North America (Canada) Inc./Shell Energy North America (U.S.) L.P. (together Shell Energy) by email on April 20, 2012 following the filing and distribution of the Report. Specifically, Shell is concerned that its comments regarding the suitability of certain requirements contained in standards EOP-005-3a, TOP-005-2a and VAR-001-2 were not fully addressed in the Report. Although BC Hydro had considered stakeholders perspectives, including Shells in reaching its final assessment of these and all the other standards included in the Report, the details provided in Table 3 were not clear in this regard which have led to the revisions noted above.
